hehe thankyou miss i stole the ticker idea off Kellz! lol they are very cute!!
Well im going to see what my MW has to say about another scan but if not then we are happy to wait as we dont mind what bubs is anyway im just kind of curious now because even after telling everyone (family and friends) that bubs is a boy! they are ALL still adament that its a girl!!! and i never told most of them that the sonographer wasnt sure i just said "yay its a boy" so i was shocked at their reactions! made me very curious as to whether he was wrong or not!

Well, after reading this thread and talking to people, we have decided not to bother with another scan in an attempt to find out the gender. I am too worried they will tell us the wrong one! SO I guess we have to be happy with a surprise.

I had such a real feeling that my son was a girl i was deadset! but nop he was a boy so my intuition wasnt right on that one. With this bubs iv had a feeling that it was both! - at first i thought boy (but then thought i was probably just willing it to be boy having wanted another boy) then now even after being told it 'may' be a boy i still think it may be a girl but like you i dont care either way now! and im only carrying one bubs so my intuitions are obviously off with this one too! LOL (seen as iv changed my mind on what i thought it was! so it cant be one of each!

Thats part of the reason I didnt want to find out the sex, as I heard they can be wrong. Also it doesnt really matter what we have and I like surprises. Although it didnt stop me trying to tell at the 20 week scan!!!   Now I am thinking that it could go either way even though I have feelings its a boy.

Oh my goodness!! I dont think i would cry unhappy tears if my bubs isnt what they say because i will be so over the moon to have a healthy bubs regardless of sex! I guess thats why im trying to keep open minded and find out stories so i know that it does happen.

I guess that counts me out for a 4D scan because i dont really want to drive 4 hours to get it!
But like i said - im getting use to the thought that i will have to wait till bubs is born im more anxious now to see bubs face as this was something the sonographer couldnt see and id like to know that all is well. ]]> Thu, 01 Mar 2007 18:37:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5927&PID=114464&title=been-told-the-wrong-sex#114464 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5927&PID=114440&title=been-told-the-wrong-sex#114440 Author: miss

They can send you for growth scans, I think they do that around 26-30 weeks? Various places do the 4d in Auckland, the cost is over $100, but I am still shopping around.

I remembered the story my back up midwife told us last visit about one of her ladies who had been told she was having a girl, then had a boy - the lady burst into tears when told it was a boy. She had been shopping and bought tons of things all in very girly colours. The mw said, that is ok, you can take it back, upon which the lady cried harder - she had been so organised that she had washed everything before she put it in draws!

That concerned me a lot to be honest- so far I have bought nothing!]]> Thu, 01 Mar 2007 16:33:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5927&PID=114440&title=been-told-the-wrong-sex#114440 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5927&PID=114421&title=been-told-the-wrong-sex#114421 Author: ooEvaoo

At my 20 week scan we were told we were having a girl. I then had a growth scan at 38 weeks and was told that it looked like 'i was having a boy!..she even showed me the bits........well I was in denial (as you would be if you thought for the majority of your pregnancy that you were having a little girl) right up until giving birth.......and well the docs held baby up, and DP proudly told me baby was a BOY.
So I'd say to stick to neutral colors, and in all honesty once you see you're baby you won't even give one single hoot about whether she's a girl or he's a boy. I had my heart set on a little girl but as soon as I saw my beautiful baby boy being held up in the air, I just cried tears of joy, we had only thought of a boys name that day aswell.
As for all my pinkies a brought...I was able to give them to my cousin who had twin girls a week before a had Kahtrell.
I can't imagine my life without him, he was, and still is the best surprise ever!

I wouldn't trust it with that result. My sisters daughter was supposed to be a son, and her son a daughter, so unless it is obvious I don't put too much store in what they say.

Talk to your MW about another scan - that is what we are going to do. If she won't go for another normal one we might shell out for a 4d scan, that is how much we want to know!

If cord was in way then i would suggest a rescan later on ...perhaps have a good check at a growth scan etc....we did one at 28-30 weeks and guy scanning counted out her labia etc to convince DH it was a girl...and to shut him up for me!!!!

Ummmm... well it has happened before - on here I remember Lissel's "baby girl" turning out to be a baby boy! (I think that was the right way round?)

And especially with a 50% chance... I don't know if I'd get too excited about a boy if there is going to be disappointment if the sonographer was wrong. But if it isn't a matter of disappointment and you are prepared for the possibility of a girl then get as excited as you wish!! ]]> Wed, 28 Feb 2007 20:42:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5927&PID=114241&title=been-told-the-wrong-sex#114241 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5927&PID=114228&title=been-told-the-wrong-sex#114228 Author: BaAsKa

I was wondering if anyone has had this happen or knows of anyone who has been told that their bubs is one sex only to get the other????
For those who havnt read my other post...

"""BOY!!!!!.... we hope! the sonographer was only 50% sure that its a boy because bubs still had his legs crossed and he thought he could see what looked a bit like a diddle but no balls!!!????? He couldnt say that its a girl because well he couldnt see much!!! he admitted that it may be the cord and to not buy anything gender specific or get too into a boy but i cant help it!!!!   its so good to kinda know. It may still be a girl but im sticking with boy until proven otherwise """"

Even after being told this my family and DH! are still convinced that bubs is a girl!! which is kind of upsetting me because it feels like bubs is not being accepted so im wondering whether theres a chance or should i just go on my merry way being happy about my wee boy and not worry about them???
